Chairman's Statement

Modification of Investment Objectives and Policy

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company sought and obtained shareholder
approval to modify its investment objectives and policy and to reorganise its
share capital, which subsequently took effect on 15th February 2001. The
Company's name was changed to Gartmore Monthly Income Trust to reflect its
revised investment objectives. These are to provide the holders of the
Ordinary Shares with a high and increasing level of monthly dividend income
and capital growth, whilst maintaining a satisfactory level of cover on the
Zero Dividend Preference Shares.

Capital Reorganisation

As part of the capital reorganisation, the Geared Ordinary Income Shares were
converted into Ordinary Shares with an indefinite life. Additionally, 42.8
million new Ordinary Shares were placed with investors, and I would like to
welcome those new shareholders to the Company.

Structure

The Senior and Junior Zero Dividend Preference Shares have been combined to
form a single class of Zero Dividend Preference Shares, issued by a new
subsidiary, GMIT Securities PLC. These shares are repayable in April 2007, or,
at the option of the holders, in April 2002. At an issue price of 100p, the
new Zero Dividend Preference shares had a yield to redemption of 9.2%.

The bank loan, which was due for repayment on 30th April 2002, was repaid and
replaced with a new bank loan of £72.5 million arranged with The Royal Bank of
Scotland, repayable in full on 30th April 2007. This structure provides a
geared return of both income and capital to Ordinary shareholders, owing to
the preferential and predetermined return of capital to Zero Dividend
Preference shareholders.

Changes to Investment Objectives and Policy

As outlined in the prospectus sent to shareholders on 18th January 2001, the
Company's investment objectives were modified to provide the holders of the
Ordinary shares with a high and increasing level of monthly dividend income
and some capital growth, while maintaining a satisfactory level of cover on
the Zero Dividend Preference shares.

To meet these objectives, the Company's assets are being rebalanced into two
separate portfolios - an Equity Portfolio and an Income Share Portfolio. The
Equity Portfolio was projected to comprise 55% of total assets, with a
targeted yield of 3.2%, and the Income Share Portfolio to comprise the
balance, with a targeted yield of 10.5%.

The Equity Portfolio is invested primarily in a diversified range of
principally large capitalisation UK companies and the Income Share Portfolio
primarily in geared ordinary shares offering a high yield and potential for
capital growth.

Achievements

The reconstruction of the Company increased its total assets from £220 million
to £282 million. At that time, approximately £35 million of the Company's
assets were held in income shares, which, therefore, required approximately £
90 million of further investment into this sector. I am pleased to report that
the process of re-aligning the portfolio had made excellent progress by the
Company's year-end.

At 30th April 2001, total assets had fallen to £266 million of which £74
million, or 27.7%, was invested in income shares, £183 million, or 68.7%, was
invested in UK equities and £9 million, or 3.6%, was held in other liquid
assets. Our expectation is that the new investment policy should be fully
implemented within two months. As set out in the prospectus, the intention is
to invest in income shares on a selective basis primarily in the secondary
market, while also picking some of the best new issues. To achieve the stated
investment objectives the Managers may implement a rebalancing of the
Company's assets with a higher proportion in the Equity Portfolio and a lower
proportion in the Income Share Portfolio than projected.

Performance

Over the year to 30th April 2001, the Company's assets produced a total
return, before interest payments, of 1.0%, compared with a total return of
minus 2.2% on the FTSE All-Share index.

In the light of the changes to the Company's investment policy, a new
benchmark was adopted with effect from 15th February 2001. This is a composite
benchmark being 55% of the total return on the FTSE All-Share Index and 45% of
the total return on the HSBC Income Share Index. This new composite benchmark
replaced the FTSE All-Share total return, which was the Company's main
benchmark until the above date.

During the period from 15th February 2001 to 30th April 2001, the Company's
total assets produced a total return, before interest payments, of minus 4.1%,
while the composite benchmark produced a total return of minus 6.9%. Over
these months, income shares performed poorly. The Company benefited from this,
as it had only partially completed the realignment of its portfolio and,
therefore, held a higher proportion of equities.

Dividends

For the year to 30th April 2001, dividends totalling 10.8p have been declared.
This consists of three quarterly payments of 2.7p and one payment of 0.9p per
Geared Ordinary Income share and two monthly payments, since the formation of
Gartmore Monthly Income PLC, of 0.9p per Ordinary share. This represents an
increase of 2.9% over dividends paid for the year to 30th April 2000.

As set out in the prospectus, the Directors expect that, in the absence of
unforeseen circumstances, dividends totalling 12.5p will be paid for the
current year to 30th April 2002,, comprising seven monthly dividends of 1.0p
followed by five dividends of 1.1p. Based on the year-end mid-market price of
90.5p, this annual dividend yield on the Ordinary shares is 13.8%.

Outlook

The deteriorating outlook for corporate earnings in the UK, as a result of the
slowdown in the domestic economy and in the US, is largely reflected in the
current valuation of the UK equity market.

However, whilst market sentiment remains fragile, the fundamental outlook for
the UK economy is reasonably positive. Growth is expected to be broadly in
line with the long-term trend, whilst subdued inflation provides scope for
further interest rate reductions.

This should provide a more supportive backdrop for UK equities than in the
last twelve months, especially if the US economy begins to recover later in
the year. In the prevailing macroeconomic environment, investors are likely to
become more discriminating and focus on stock-specific earnings potential.
Sector rotation, a feature of the market over the last year, is likely to
become less pronounced.

Director

Due to the pressure of other commitments, Richard Ireland resigned as a
Director on 31st October 2000. I would like to thank him for his support since
joining the Board in June 1995.

Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting will be held at 12.30 p.m. on 31st July 2001 at
Gartmore House, 8 Fenchurch Place, London EC3M 4PH. As usual there will be a
short presentation from the Company's portfolio manager, Richard Prvulovich.
This will also provide an opportunity for both the Directors and the portfolio
manager to answer any questions from shareholders relating to the Company.

Group Accounts

The Group accounts consolidate the unaudited accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, GMIT Securities PLC, from the date of its
incorporation on 26th September 2000 to 30th April 2001. The comparative
figures presented are those of the parent company only as there were no
subsidiaries to be included in a consolidation at 30th April 2000.

The financial information set out in the announcement does not constitute the
Group's statutory accounts for the years ended 30th April 2001 or 2000. The
financial information for the year ended 30th April 2000 is derived from the
statutory accounts for that year which have been delivered to the Registrar of
Companies. The auditors reported on those accounts; their report was
unqualified and did not contain a statement under s237(2) or s237(3) of the
Companies Act 1985. The statutory accounts for the year to 30th April 2001
will be finalised on the basis of the information presented by the Directors
in this preliminary statement and will be delivered to the Registrar of
Companies following the Company's Annual General Meeting.

There have been no changes in accounting policies since 30th April 2000.



Annual Report and Accounts

The Report and Accounts for the year ended 30th April 2001 will be posted to
shareholders shortly. Copies will be available from the Registered Office of
